South Texas Project Coordinator at Libraries Without Borders
Full Time
About Libraries Without Borders US

Our US programs have won numerous awards, including the Google Impact Challenge and the Library of Congress International Literacy Award.
Our Work in San Antonio
In 2016, LWB US launched the Wash and Learn Initiative (WALI), a collaboration of libraries, small businesses, and nonprofits that brings relevant information and critical services to community members via their neighborhood laundromat. Now active in 7 states, WALI has transformed laundromats into pop-up libraries and learning spaces where communities can access resources — from ESL classes to tax preparation, or from children’s story time to employment services. With generous support from Google Fiber and the San Antonio Area Foundation, and in partnership with BiblioTech, the San Antonio Public Library, and several other community organizations, LWB US expanded this model to San Antonio in 2019.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, LWB US created the ConnectED program, which provided people on the wrong side of the digital divide with access to laptops, WiFi hotspots, and curated resources with information about social services. Mobilizing its local networks, LWB US collaborated with partner organizations to distribute ConnectED kits to the neediest residents in San Antonio. At present, LWB US seeks to pilot the use of its Ideas Box to create connectivity hubs in three public parks across the city. The Ideas Box is a pop-up library and multimedia center equipped with technology, books, a satellite internet connection, and other resources needed to promote learning and facilitate community-driven engagement.
About the Role
The South Texas Project Coordinator will be the local representative of Libraries Without Borders US in San Antonio and South Texas. The Project Coordinator will be responsible for supporting project planning and executing work plans developed in collaboration with LWB US staff, community stakeholders, and local partners, namely Bexar County BiblioTech and the San Antonio Public Library, as well as laundromat owners and staff.
This project embraces a holistic approach to digital inclusion, one that considers social and emotional skills as well as digital competencies in fostering community well-being and promoting civic engagement.
This is a public-facing role that requires a willingness to attend in-person activities and events. The ideal candidate will have experience speaking to a wide range of audiences. The position also entails frequent local travel and may involve domestic and international travel as well. LWB US provides all staff with appropriate PPE and abides by federal, state, and local public health guidance on COVID-19 infection control and prevention.

Essential Functions & Responsibilities
Cultivate relationships with residents, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, libraries, government representatives and agencies, small businesses, volunteers, and other key stakeholders in order to align the needs and interests of residents with available resources.
Expand programming in San Antonio, the Rio Grande Valley and South Texas in order to grow the reach of LWB US and increase access to vital information and technology for under-resourced communities.
Plan events, remote and/or in-person, which may include media engagement/publicity, turnout, public speaking, and logistics.

Research
Faculty Librarians also explore their own active research agenda, contributing their expertise, experiences, and investigations to build new knowledge in their chosen areas. The STEM Instruction and Engagement Librarian will be well positioned to make substantive contributions to research in a number of areas including, but not limited to, explorations of the role that libraries play in creating necessary technological conditions that enable equitable access to online information; the collaborative establishment of non-commercial online resources and practices; the role libraries play in the open-access ecosystem; the consideration of biases within the terminology, architecture, and encoding of these systems, and the ethical and privacy considerations that arise in an era of mass data collection.
NYU Cluster Hiring Initiative
NYU Libraries is participating in the NYU Faculty Cluster Hiring Initiative to recruit, welcome, and support new library faculty working across the Division on timely themes of social importance, such as Inequality and Anti-racism, Population Health and Health Equity, Open Science and the Public Good, and Urban Environments and Politics. The cluster-hire approach offers NYU Libraries a new opportunity to address our goal of building a more diverse faculty community in a concerted way, with the full weight of the University’s recruitment and retention toolkit. It also allows us to mobilize our internal resources, including onboarding, cohort mentoring, and measures to protect time for research and service, and bring them to bear to ensure the success of new hires. For full details about the Libraries cluster hiring initiative, see this link.
This particular position is part of our Building STEM for the Public Good: Cultivating Openness in the Sciences cluster. Bringing together expertise in scientific data discovery, data curation and organization, open-access scholarship, digital preservation, and STEM engagement, this cluster will bring a key set of library and information science perspectives and theoretical underpinnings to heighten the impact of work already occurring across the university in the fields of education, data journalism, information and technology policy, data science, and more. The positions in this cluster build on the goal of libraries centering the public good in technology development, selection, policy, and implementation, not only to facilitate access to a range of technologies, but also to bring a critical lens to their inherent limitations and biases.
